18th February
Tenby Camera Club had a Street Photography Presentation on the 11th February. A genre that is gaining popularity in the photographic world , it was brought to life by Brian Lloyd Duckett. A very experienced photographer, journalist, lecturer and Fuji ambassador who is based in London .
After a run through some classic street images by exemplary photographers, to illustrate candid street photography styles, Brian went on to explain how to proceed. Firstly with the narrative or story telling, then the Aesthetic using unusual approaches , like shooting through a window, taking silhouettes , shooting at night . Finally there is the Moment , making connections , perhaps using humour .
With ten tips Brian covered the basic way to approach this genre, from being observant, watching body language, getting lucky “right place right time” and being patient. Brian gave excellent advice on settings, lighting and legality. He also encouraged us to have an ongoing project to focus on .
Brian was a very practical, down to earth speaker, inspiring many members to have a go in the future.
A well supported Ace of Clubs Competition was held on the 21st February via Zoom . Thirteen talented Welsh Clubs competed with the top 2 clubs going forward to represent Wales in the future UK wide PAGB Battle . Thirty entries from each club, scored by 3 eminent judges, gave a thrilling and closely fought competition. Tenby Camera Club members were thrilled to gain first place. Three members scored a maximum score. They were Charlie Kidd and a Bronze medal , Dave Lewis and a ribbon ,and Dave Bolton, a judge's choice. There were many amazing images and it must have been difficult for the judges to choose the medal and ribbon winners . Well done to Gwynfa Camera Club who came second and also qualified . Afan Nedd Camera Club came a worthy third place .
A big thank you to all the authors who allowed their images to be used
